A boy was left with a broken leg after being hit by a car in Guildford on Monday (July 22).

The 13-year-old was taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting following the incident in Southway, Park Barn.

He was out on his scooter with friends when he was struck by a black Vauxhall Astra at the junction with The Spinney.

Posting on Twitter, @SurreyRoadCops said: "He rode into the path of a car that could not stop in time. The car was not speeding."

South East Coast Ambulance Service was called at 5.50pm and a spokesman said: "A 13-year-old boy had been hit by a car opposite The Spinney and we sent two cars and two ambulances to the scene, and also sent the air ambulance.

"The boy suffered injuries including a fracture to his leg and was taken to St George's Hospital in Tooting."

He was conscious at the time and was put in a brace as a precaution against other potential injuries,” the spokesman added.

The driver of the Astra was not injured in the incident.

Southway remained closed until shortly after 8.30pm while the injured teenager was treated and the vehicle was removed from the road.
